The new building of ICSE Las Palmas presents advanced characteristics for its time, trying to set trends and trasmit the values that it exemplifies: sustainabilty, environment, integration, accessibility, equality… For this purpose it is based on a series of properties and particularities that make it an unique construction in the Canary Islands.


The building has more than 5500 m2 of constructed area. The idiosyncrasy of the company must be reflected in each of its corners. Four basic precepts have been the ones that have guided the decision-making in the construction process:


  • Representativeness: It is intended that the new ICSE leave its mark and open unexplored paths in the Canarian archipelago. There are no such facilities on any of the seven islands.
  • Innovation: A unique degree of innovation that defines sustainable architecture and engineering: double skin façade, use of high-quality noble materials, LED lighting, photovoltaic panels, wind energy, biomass, water recycling, ...
  • Efficiency: The search for maximum energy efficiency has been and continues to be a priority. All equipment and facilities are at the highest level of environmental respect.
  • Teaching: ICSE has been dedicated to training since 1979. For this reason, the foundation that sustains the building is that all the elements have been designed and built with a marked didactic character.
